Weather Analytics- InitWeather

InitWeather offers advanced weather solutions including customised forecast products and analytics, helping users make smarter weather-based decisions. The API data platforms are built from rigorous R&D resulting in unique algorithms that combine data and isolates/merges areas to focus on locations of interest, essentially controlling the “noise” in the data.

The Challenge

  • 90% of all global trade moves by sea with 1 out of 5 ship losses due to weather, highlighting need for effective weather planning.
  • Current weather tools and datasets offer broad solutions, often missing specific needs. Lack of specialised weather data results in less accurate predictions.
  • Many problems require unique solutions that don't come from broad global model output, rather requiring highly tailored data.
  • The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration aggregates 20TB of data daily; this surplus both clutters and shrouds useful information.

The Solution

InitWeather’s Maritime Weather Subscription Services offers targeted datasets designed for specific weather challenges:

  • Minimize exposure to hazardous weather at key milestones along global shipping supply chain
  • Data available by region, time, variable, historical, forecast, or commodity
  • Developed by meteorologists and rigorously verified to improve weather intelligence
  • Processed to improve existing data for superior/quality-driven results
  • Curated to meet growing Ai/ML needs

Use Cases

Customised data provided by InitWeather’s API data platform:

  • Statistically tested to identify weather as top global market driver
  • Highest statistical significance for S&P500, crude long & short
  • Improved natural gas price predictions for [30-60 day] range
  • Allow for optimised weather routing forecasts

Crude - Long:

Natural Gas 30-60 day:
